03/24/24 - Sunday Worship

The Gospel of Mark will bring us into the profound teachings of Jesus regarding the Sabbath, highlighting His revolutionary message that challenges traditional religious blindness and invites us into a deeper understanding of God's laws as gifts of love and mercy. Through the narratives of the disciples picking grain and the healing on the Sabbath, we explore Jesus' declaration of being the Lord of the Sabbath, emphasizing the priority of human need over self-made ritual compliance. We are called to embrace a faith centered on the transformative grace of Christ, leading us to live in the freedom and rest that He alone provides.
